His warning came in the wake of criticisms levelled at the judiciary after the Federal Court last week upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal in finding Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim guilty of sodomy.
Arifin said the judiciary was open to criticism but will not tolerate unfounded allegation in the social media and at public forums.
"We view with seriousness such conduct and will not hesitate to act?'" he said in his speech during the elevation of four judges to superior courts at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya today.
Arifin said any baseless criticism against the bench would weaken the administration of justice and erode public confidence in the institution.
